Definitions

  • a battery is used to power a device when there is no mains power available to power the device.
  • a battery has contacts and these contacts can be contaminated. In some applications, the contamination of contacts can cause problems. This has been addressed in existing systems by fully sealing the battery. However, when the battery is fully sealed, there are no contact points possible. To address this, there are some existing systems in which the power connection between the battery and the device to be powered is wireless. As such, in these existing systems, the battery can wirelessly transfer power to the device. Wireless power transfer is used in many systems. For example, smartphones can be charged by way of wireless power transfer.
  • wireless power transfer suffers from the downside that it is associated with power loss and a voltage drop.
  • the power loss can be compensated to an extent by charging the battery with an external power source either in a wired way or wirelessly, such as in the manner described in US 2017/0133862. Nevertheless, it is not currently possible to compensate for the voltage drop and this can negatively impact the efficiency of wireless power transfer and even the operation of the device that is being charged using wireless power transfer.
